'Redundancy bike' quote is brilliant. If only cos it says nothing about fixies and everything about how discovering practical cycling represents newfound freedom! If you've been stuck in a boring job all these years, and all you get when you get the boot is one weeks' pay for every year you've worked, up to a max of 12 weeks (it generally really isn't very much money), why not piss off on a nice bike and camp in a hedge?
When I got a redundancy I built a really crappy POS bike to ride to freelance jobs and not stress about locking up. I shoulda bought a LHT!
